Hey you got one already!

Eh, just block the tankie subs and you dont have to worry about them nearly as much.

You don’t know because there isn’t anything like karma here. It doesn’t exist.

There are votes on posts and comments, but they don’t carry over to your profile whatsoever.

Eh, just block all the .ml losers and you see a lot less of that.

The .ml people are all nut job Tankies anyway and should be blocked for your own sanity.

No it would. Come January 21st, Vance could take over and still be eligible for two full terms of his own.

Arduino has a 16GB DDR5 board designed to run local LLMs for $299. And it has 64GB of storage on board. Granted it’s not as flexible as a Pi, but it has DDR5 RAM, and a good bit of storage on board for cheaper.

A 16GB Raspberry pi with DDR4 for $385 is just robbery.

You’ve got Kamala Harris on there but not Peter Thiel?

Yeah, ok bud.

On AM stations yeah. Not FM though.

AM is a while different beast, and there aren’t any phones with AM receivers.

No you can’t… at least not easily or cost effectively.

It’s not just the wire on the headphones, it’s how an analog jack works. A 3.5mm audio jack routes raw analog signal through a direct electrical connection. USB doesn’t not. Without the raw analog signal, the FM receiver can’t do anything with it.

You need extra hardware like an analog pass through to get USB to handle analog radio signals. And that’s expensive and bulky for no benefit over an audio jack which is compact and dirt cheap.

Respectfully, you don’t know what you’re talking about here.

I don’t think they’re joking at all… what they said is true. If the phone has an FM receiver then the wired headphones do serve as the antenna for it. It will not work without wired headphones.

Back in the day that was a good way to have free music over the air if you didn’t have an unlimited data plan, which most people didn’t.

It’s just obsolete tech now. Having a headphone jack doesn’t mean anything if the phone doesn’t have an FM receiver. Most phones don’t have an FM chip in them anymore.

I haven’t listened to FM radio in probably 8-9 years. It’s literally nothing but ads with a few minutes of the most commercial music shoved down your throat 12 times a day

We had Starlink for a few months when we moved into our house. It was a new build and we were one of the first in the neighborhood, so the telecoms hadn’t laid out wire yet.

It was honestly great. We’d get almost a gig down and never really had any connection issues unless it was heavy snow.

My in laws live in the middle of nowhere and they went from I want to say hughsnet to Starlink and it’s been night and day for them.

You’re almost the perfect use case lol. The whole point of the fold is for people that have or want both a phone and a tablet, but only want to carry one device.

I don’t currently have an iPad. My wife does and I end up using it a lot. I want an iPad mini for the times that I want just a bit bigger screen, but I’ve held off because I don’t want another device.

So I’ve got a duo on order. 90% of the time I’ll probably have it closed. The other 10% of the time it’ll serve the use that I use my wife’s iPad for but will have my setup instead of her layout that I’m not used to lol.

Because having the smaller profile in your pocket, but being able to fold out to watch content on a higher screen is completely different than zooming….

Sure you can zoom in on a YouTube video, but why? You’re just getting a nose or something instead of the video.

The fold is for when you do most of your stuff on the small screen, but want the big screen for certain things and don’t want two devices to do it. Which is the perfectly valid use case.

Taking a modern large screen phone on a run can be a pain in the ass. Why get a small phone and a small tablet when you can have a small phone that unfolds into a small tablet when you want it to?

I mean, ok? The flagship androids cost the same or more and have less support lol. They literally don’t last nearly as long as iPhones.

It’s literally the same price as all the other folding phones. Being Apple is irrelevant.

Sure, you can say $2000 is too much for a phone. I’m inclined to agree. But this is clearly the market price for a foldable phone across the board.

Well, ideally that would mean you are able to increase production with the same people and produce more for the same budget. Not cut heads.

No, I know what it means. I don’t think it applies here. It would apply to something like a pump and dump scheme, where the people know the bag is already empty, but they fluff it up and try to pass it off on someone else before the whole thing collapses.

That’s not what these companies are doing. They legitimately believe that AI will eventually become profitable and are trying to corner the market and be the dominant player. They WANT the crash. They just want to be the ones that survive it. That’s not the same as trying to leave someone else with the bag at the end of it.

I don’t think that’s really the same. Not being left with the bag means you know already know the bag is empty and pass it on to someone else before they realize it’s empty. Like a pump and dump scheme.

That’s not what these companies are doing. They’re not trying to leave investors holding the empty bag. They are legitimately trying to turn profitable and corner the market.

Eh kind of. AI is not going to go away. It’s going to be just like the internet in the early days. With a similar crash to the dot-com crash.

They’re just all trying to be the one that doesn’t go bankrupt during the crash.
